7. N.Y. Jets (3-0) -- Inside linebacker David Harris, an emerging star, stuffed consecutive fourth-quarter drives by the Titans with an interception and a sack last week. The former Ottawa Hills and Michigan standout is beginning to look more and more like an NFL defensive player of the year candidate.

8. New England (2-1)

9. San Francisco (2-1) -- The loss of starting running back Frank Gore hurts. More important, however, is left tackle Joe Staley of Rockford, who suffered a knee bruise in a last-second loss at Minnesota last week. The 49ers can't afford to lose him.

19. Buffalo (1-2) -- It is the media's fault, of course, that Terrell Owens keeps shooting off his big mouth and keeps getting himself into trouble with his coaches and teammates. Hey, T.O., you should try shutting up, for a change.

20. Seattle (1-2)21. Jacksonville (1-2)

22. Tennessee (0-3) -- It is clear the Titans miss nose tackle Albert Haynesworth. Perhaps the bigger loss, though, is the departure of defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, who has had an immediate impact on the Detroit Lions in his first NFL head coaching job.

28. Miami (0-3) -- The Chad Henne era begins for the Dolphins. It seems like perfect timing for the former Michigan standout quarterback to replace injured starter Chad Pennington. Henne starts with a clean slate on a winless team.
